FFIREFIGHTER'S N EWEST Con tinued frorn page 1 Initiaily the Fire Department wanted'a General Motors truck but it was discovered that General Mo tors didn't have a truck with a chassis strong enough to carry the weight of both a ladder and a water tank so they couldn't submit tenders for the new purchase. With safety first and forernostinii their minds the Whitby Fire Department now hias six class A pumper trucks ini the fleet, each having the capacity to punp over 625 gallons of water a minùte on a fire. The department also hias two class B trucks and a 200 gallon water tanker in Brooklin as well as thie Emergency Van which carnies spare equipment such as 27 air bottles, cutting equipmeflî, portable generators and pumps, salvage pumips and dlean-up tools and materials. Despite the fact that the departnment lias one of the besi fireflighting records and some of the best equipinent the Whitby Fire Department stili stresses that the best mieans of combatting fire is to prevent it from happening in the first place. AIl in ail it's a comforting thought to know that if a fire does break out in your home or business the Whitby Fire Department is one of the best suited in Ontario 10 put it oui. CO-OPER ATION NEEDED Local Realtor. Dave Bren- nan, repnesenting Whitby and area realtors presented a bni to Council Monday nighît seek- ing a closer rapport and more co-operation froîîî the coun- cil and the Town of Whîtby. In the brief Brennani called for more co-operation. co- ordination and consistency fromn the Town and cited commnunications as the main concern of tlhe Whitby real- tors. Brennan said the realtors felt the Town siould infornm diîe real estate boards directly instead of using newspaper ads v'hen thie Town liad prop- erties tu dispose of and lie said the realtors wvould lso like ru work more closely with the Irîdustrial Commis- sioner and the Planning De- partiment. Iii rebuttal Deputy Reeve Johni Goodwvin suggested real- tors often cauIse nînnicipalities problemis wheni, from tîmie Io timie. they list houses withi illegal basemien t apartnments as commercial homes with an income. He said r e a11 t o r s should clheck the zoning of tan area before listing such homes and thereby causing the muni- cipality problemis explaîinng to people the areas concerned were not zoiied as commercial and the hiomes with basenment apartmnents were ini contradic- tion of the zoning bylaw. Thie ra lIer was set aside to be discuissed at a further mecet- inig. A proposed study of tlhe food services ai the Ontario Psychiatrie Hospital in Whitby drcw fine frorn Reeve Ed- wards at Monday's counicil session. The study was proposed by the Ministry of Health -and a letter froru Health Minister Dr. R.T. Potier was sent ex- plaining the stLtdy. Edwards said thiat, according 10 his letter, Minister Potier does flot realize die concerns of the employees of the hospital who fear job changes or even loss of jobs. Reeve Edwards con tacted Whitby Psychiatric Hospital Administrator Milton Fischer to arrange a meeting for hos- pitl employees but Edwards, visibly upset, explained to counicil that Fischer would agree to such a meeting but told Edwards that he didn't want outsiders like Edwards present ai the meeting. The food proposai study question was set aside for furiher investigation and.dis- cussion by the Management Comnmittee.
